I was looking at the house I grew up in on Google Maps, and I noticed something that kind of made me sad. That tan roofline behind the house. Apparently somebody build a house right in our back yard! Took out the tree my sister used to climb. Probably the swamp with the frogs you…

Wet dog blues
Poor Cody looks so pathetic, especially when he is dripping wet. And I still have to carefully hand-pluck those little burr things out of his face-fur. Where does he get those? I don’t know whether give him a scooby snack, or call the ASPCA on myself, although he came from the animal shelter looking like…
We’ll see.
It is father’s day again, but I don’t even have a recliner, I have to envy my dad’s. I will probably get a “World’s Greatest Dad” trinket today, but let’s face it, my dad could dad circles around me. I remember one time he was calmy sitting in that recliner smoking his pipe, and I…
Waiting for technological advances
Here’s me and my siblings sitting on the couch, waiting for video games and cellphones to be invented, or at least Pong. The reason I look kind of freaked out, is that my sister Evelyn (There in the saddle shoes) just directed that stare to my Tonka truck and melted the ignition wires. SIDE NOTE:…

We found this old guy at the animal shelter, looking kinda pathetic because of allergies, according to our vet. We got some pills and eyedrops and special shampoo, now Cody is feeling better. He is enjoying having a back yard, and snoozing on the floor in my office, with no yips and yaps, no parade…
Minions need to pay attention
I was getting a picture of Daphne with this minion, trying to get a better shot. Should have put it in video, the Minion has a hilarious double-take when after the picture I said, “I need to take another picture! He blinked!”
Have yourself a surly little Christmas
From Christmas Day 1967, me in the yellow shirt, with some of my sisters.
Climb up here to get a better angle to fling poop
Our friend sent me a picture from Costa Rica, while we are experiencing a cold snap. Just good timing I guess. Got this text while standing in line at Costco. Teresa asked about the weather there, and I replied (Just as we got to checkout) “Well, the monkey’s not wearing a coat”. The checkout clerk…
